Cops nab car accessory shop owner over false report to claim insurance

KUALA LUMPUR – A car accessory shop owner was caught making a false report that his shop in Dataran Mentari, Petaling Jaya, here was broken into causing a loss of RM600,000.

Petaling Jaya district police chief Mohamad Fakhrudin Abdul Hamid said the 39-year-old man made a report regarding the alleged incident at 1.09pm last Friday.

He said the investigation found that there was no break in as reported and the man admitted to making the report for the purpose of an insurance claim.

“Police have opened an investigation paper according to Section 182 of the Penal Code,” he said in a statement today.

Fakhrudin advised the public not to make false reports for their own benefit and to mislead the authorities in conducting investigations. – Bernama, January 29, 2023
